On November 14th, Turf held's it first Potluck Fundraiser at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church. CSA members, their friends and family, along with supporters of Turf attended the event. Our food was prepared by our csa members and included vegetables from their shares. Raflles and SRCO's DJ also made the evening fun. This event marked the end of our 2009 csa season and left csa members in anticpation for our 2010 csa!
On October 10th, Turf hosted a cooking workshop for students from the Urban Assembly Academy of History & Citizenship for Young Men (in the South Bronx). Students learned basic cooking skills, became familiar with traditional Mexican foods, and learned the importance of eating local foods. Turf’s Chef Iris and Erika (our high school intern) guided students through the process of making quesadillas, salsa, and guacamole with fresh ingredients from Turf’s CSA Program. We ended the cooking workshop by eating the food we prepared and sharing favorite food and cooking stories.
